THE EMMAUS WALK:

"A Man Called Peter," The Story of Peter Marshall, by Catherine Marshall. McGraw-Hill Book Company, New York. This book contains Peter Marshall's complete message, "The American Dream," which needs to be read in its entirely to be appreciated properly. It speaks even more to us today--when we face our utter destruction due to our own doing as much to our avowed enemies. This is a call (perhaps one of the last we will hear) to America to consider the Covenant made with God by our forefathers and Founding Fathers, a Covenant that makes America different from any other nation except Israel. We need to return to the terms of that covenant, Peter Marshall says. Peter Marshall was the Chaplain of the U.S. Congress, who died at a young age, but who left an indelible impression on the nation then and for decades afterwards.

"We Have a Choice, Humility or Humiliation," perhaps a last and most significant call to America to repent or be destroyed by our enemies, based on Robison's prophetic warning, available in his 16-page booklet printed and distributed by LIFE Outreach International, Fort Worth, TX, 2006.

Calling himself a Catholic and a traditionalist, he, sadly, has no Christian God--saying he believes in Evolution while speaking of God as a dim Creator, who is either a him or her. O'Reilly, nonetheless, is one of the few honest voices raised on the current social scene, calling for a return to traditional values and the Christian world-view of our Judaeo-Christian heritage that was the foundation of our nation. For this reason, his book is well worth looking into: "Culture Warrior," by Bill O'Reilly (go to www.amazon.com, or any bookstore), which details the unconditional, all-out war being waged against America's Judaeo-Christian foundations by secular progressives (also called secular humanists, or better: "secular retrogressives").

Brigitte Gabriel, a Christian from Lebanon, valiantly tells of the persecution of Christians in Lebanon by Muslim terrorists who took over her formerly peaceful, progressive, multi-cultural, religiously tolerant nation (the only one like it in the Middle East--a model for all the oppressive Muslim societies around it!). They turned it into a hell, and her family had to flee for their lives. Her book, "Because They Hate," depicts the reason why Muslims hate Jews and Christians so passionately, and shows how that hatred is grounded in the later Muslim scriptures (surahs) of the Koran that supercede the earlier tolerant scriptures written by Mohammed when he was in Medina eagerly seeking the favor of Jews and Christians to help him gain the upper hand against his enemies in Mecca. Truth and prayer, with the love of Jesus, is the only way to defeat this darkness from hell itself that calls itself Islam (imagine a "God" and a "prophet" who promote the killing of innocent Jewish and Christian children, blowing them up, and then awarding these mass murderers entrance into heaven and giving them 72 virgins a day to have orgies with! Can anything so blasphemous and sacrilegious be imagined?

This is truly an abomination born in hell--and yet mullahs routinely preach this devil's doctrine to children and impressionable, ignorant young men and women who slavishly believe everything they are told by their religious authorities. To underscore Brigitte Gabriel's warning about the Muslim religion and the terrorists in Lebanon, the news just broke that a leading Christian politician in the Lebanonese parliament has just been asssasinated. You know who did it, because he opposed Syria and Iran-backed Hezbollah's power grab in the parliament.

This book speaks to the greatest need of America--which is to wake up and seek God in repentance and then carry the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the Muslims in love and humility--and can be obtained by calling 1-800-854-9899, or contact her via Pastor John Hagee's website.

MEDIA ALERT CENTER NEWSFLASH: OUR SECULAR HUMANIST MEDIA BLACKENS THE CHRISTIANS OF LEBANON: I just listened to a broadcast about the assassination of the Christian government leader in Lebanon that blackened the Phalangist party (the Christian-founded political party in Lebanon that was founded by a member of the assassinated leader's family), saying it was modeled on the Nazi party. Now we know that the secular humanist media never will mention the fact that Yassir Arafat's government is a direct production of the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem's meetings with Adolf Hitler during World War II. These two fiends from hell had much in common, despite the fact Hitler intensely hated non-Aryans such as the Arabs. He was willing to overlook the Mufti's Semitic race (which all Arabs share with the Jews!), because the Mufti hated the Jews with a passion, calling Christians and Jews pigs and monkeys, and wanted them exterminated. All this is documented history, and yet the Islam-supporting secular humanist media will never mention it. Pictures of the Grand Mufti and Hitler are also available, for the Grand Mufti was given a grand state welcome by Hitler. The Grand Mufti went and established a fighting corps to use against the Jews, and the rest is, as they say, history, as we see in the anti-Jewish Palestinian government.

Once mighty, "Great Britain," formerly the birthplace of the Wesley and Welsh revivals that shook England and revitalized her (sparing oppressed Britain a French-style revolution and bloodbath), now a secular-humanist society where Christmas is a politically incorrect term to use at the time of the traditional celebration of Christ's birth ("Winter Festival," or the pagan "Winter Solstice," ineptly and dishonestly substituted). This is the "thanks" Britons gave God for sparing them from them from being conquered and crushed by Nazi Germany, and we know that Hitler fully intended to invade Britain and liquidate all its leading citizens, while reducing millions to slavery and concentration camps. His "liquidation lists" have been made public. Yet the churches emptied after the victory at the end of the war--and the people turned their backs on God their deliverer. Yet He has not forgotten Britain despite this, and still calls to her to return to him. She turned against Israel, and incurred a curse, but all this can be turned around. Prosperity can be swept away in a moment today, as most of the money that exists is electronic, not actual cash or gold or jewels or property. Whatever Britons trust in now can be gone, in a twinkling of an eye as the whole commercial and banking sector loses all its assets in an economic melt-down. This does not have to happen, for a revival to take place once again, perhaps for the last time, in Britain. Let us pray for Britain, that her people be spared this severe a mercy.

"The Burden of Britain," by Eben

Though this refuge for many persecuted people (also revolutionaries and criminals, we might add) has gained credit for accepting everybody, friend or foe, its record in keeping huge amounts of stolen German Jewish assets without feeling at all obliged to reimburse the survivors of the Holocaust cannot be admired. Recently, it has become a haven for terrorists, and the terrorists are wealthy, if you don't know. Authorities are looking for the six billion or so that Yassir Arafat hid somewhere, quite possibly in Swiss banks, where so much money stolen by dictators and mafiaso crime bosses goes. His widow is presently living a life of luxury in Paris, and perhaps she knows but is not telling, lest she be reduced to poverty. All this money was given by America and the West to aid the impoverished Palestinian people, to help build their society's infrastructure and start schools and hospitals and businesses, but Yassir Arafat diverted practically all of the aid into his own secret accounts. The Bible prophecies that someday the treasures of wickedness will be brought into the open, and the money that the wicked world has hidden in secret hoards like the greedy dwarves of German legend will be turned over to Christians! The righteous will inherit what the wicked have heaped up for themselves! I do believe this is coming about, as news of these fortunes stolen from the rightful owners such as the Jews is hitting the newspapers. These fortunes, and with accrued interest, if justice be served on this sick, old planet, must be turned over to them, a number of whom have since the Holocaust become Christians, as you can learn by ordering the "Survivors' Stories" video from Jews for Jesus.

What city would you say is the most important in Christian and even world history? Jerusalem, it must be said, is that city, with Bethlehem, Nazareth, and Antioch and Philippi, perhaps, as runners-up. Jerusalem will continue to be the most important, for Christ is coming to set his throne there for ruling the whole earth when He comes at the close of the Tribulation Period and the beginning of the period of the Thousand Year Reign of Christ. Yet there is yet another, which "filled in" for Jerusalem when it was "trodden down by Gentiles" and the sons of Ishmael after the city's destruction by the Romans in 70 AD. That great city is Constantinople. This was the splendid capital of the Byzantine Empire from its founding by Emperor Constantine in the 4th century AD to its fall to the gargantuan army of the Muslim Ottoman Turks led by Sultan Mehmed in the 15th century. During all that time the city withstood, alone, the onslaughts of the Muslim advance into Europe from the eastern gates. A city set on a hill, shining with the Cross, it managed by God's grace to fight off every foe--pagan Goth, Muslim Arab, Seljuk Turk, Mongol, barbarian Bulgar, Northman (or Scandinavian), and many, many others--and in doing that it saved Europe (that is, Christian faith in Asia and Europe) from being swept away--or driven underground. Christian faith literally went underground in Cappadocia, after that Christian country was conquered by the Muslims--you can tour Turkey's most amazing treasures of the past in Cappadocia, central Turkey, where you will see the hundreds of chapels dug into the strange rock formations and in underground rooms by the hundreds and thousands.

T. R. Glover, who died in 1943, was a great historian, scholar, and classicist, who wrote "The Ancient World." Of Constantinople's central role, he observed: "There his [Emperor Constantine the founder of the imperial city] city stands, as it stood; for a thousand years and more it was (far more than Venice) 'the safeguard of the West', and protected Europe, still imperfectly civilized, from barbarism and Islam, from Hun and Turk and Slav. It kept Greek literature and Greek thought safe for us all, till our Western world was fit to receive it. The Turk took the city in 1453, and the greatest of all historic churches, the Hagia Sophia of Justinian, became a mosque. It is now to be a museum; but some, who have worshipped Christ in it, know that it still is, and will yet be, the Church of the Divine Wisdom."

The Eastern Orthodox Christian Church Patriarch is still headquartered in the city, which remains the seat of Eastern Orthodoxy's head primate, the Constantinopolitan patriarch (who has been made a Turkish citizen, by the way) to keep him under control and from causing the Turkish government trouble.

Turkey ought to return the mother church, Hagia Sophia, that is still the center of Greek Orthodox Christendom, where it rightly belongs. This is the only major belief system that does not have its mother edifice in its possession--for I cannot think of any other. Imagine Christians forcibly taking Mecca and the Kaaba shrine and keeping them for seven hundred years, then turning them into a "museum." The British Empire had the power and armies to do so in the 19th and even the early 20th century--but wisely left the whole area of Islam's heartland alone. If not for this, it would have made a British possession, since the British Empire ruled supreme across the globe. How then can one religion, Islam, treat other beliefs this way? The simple answer is: Islam is triumphantist (its guiding tenet is that no competing, rival belief can be tolerated, except temporarily to get the advantage over after gaining more power and the means to use it), unlike Christianity, which can co-exist with other beliefs, and does, when not ruled by occasional triumphantist religious authorities!

Thanks to Constantinople, which remained for a thousand years a beacon of hope and prosperity, learning, and civilization, to a barbarized, dark, tumultous world after the Western Roman Empire fell in the 5th century, we did not wake up Muslims this morning, hearing the call from the minaret's iman to pray toward Mecca! It is seldom that one city ever played so vital and crucial a role in saving civilization and the Christian faith--in fact, this city is the only one that has done it, eclipsing Rome by a large degree. Can God forget Constantinople, now called Istanbul? Its people are precious to him--the ten or more millions of Muslims that now call it home. We owe as Christians a great debt to this still very beautiful city--and now when Pope Benedict XIV is about to visit there, it is coming into the front pages--just as it was on the "front pages" for over a thousand years in the past. God is, indeed, drawing attention to this great mother city, no doubt, so that we who pray will pray for the salvation of this city, which He used with such mighty power to preserve and protect the precious faith of Christ brought to Europe from this very land of Asia Minor, of which this city was the shining signet gem.

FALSE CULTS AND HERESIES and COUNTERFEITS CENTER:

Is the so-called Prosperity Gospel a heresy? Is it really based on scripture, as is claimed by those who preach it? What possible harmful effects could it have on Christian faith? Why is it so popular, and draw so many people to churches where it is regularly preached? Is it an American phenomenon--reflective of America's crazed, ultra-materialistic culture(consider Tom Cruise's vulgar, 2.5 million dollar "wedding" extravagaza-circus in an Italian castle as just one example of our lunatic extravagance and self-deification as American super-materialists)--or is it more universal? These are some questions we will try to ask and answer (or at least shed some light upon) in a proposed article.

There is a counterfeit in Satan's kingdom for everything, or almost everything, God has created for blessing His children in His kingdom. Marriage is no exception. Now Satan has substituted, in order to pervert and destroy God's creation of holy matrimony, his unholy marriage of man with man, or woman with woman--homosexual liaisons and lesbian liaisons masquerading as monogamous unions. In the mainline churches, and you can read which ones as reported in the news, same-sex marriages (a euphemism for homosexual or lesbian liaisons) are being sanctioned by deluded New Age religionists who accept everything religious, regardless of what the Word of God says about such sexual sins. God, however, created holy matrimony as the first institution to bless mankind and every couple joined together lawfully in His eyes. What a beautiful creation! It is so life-enhancing, so fruitful, so lasting, so happy--only God could create so wonderful a thing. Please link to an excerpt from the official programme of the splendid, even majestic wedding ceremony of Prince Charles and Lady Diana in St. Paul's Cathedral, London, 29 July 1981. It speaks of the pure essence of holy matrimony, as drawn from the peerless, immortal Word of God. It is truly an awesome union, the joining in marriage of one man with one woman, sealed by the holy Spirit of God, and witnessed by the assembly of saints and the leaders of the Church and the world, and must never be lightly be entered into. Just because the two who took vows lightly in this particular marriage of Charles and Diana's, it does not mean that the institution is flawed in its conception. God only does things perfectly. We know they both failed in their vows--but that was of their choosing, and it cost them both dearly in happiness. If only their vows had been honored, it is likely their lives would have gone very differently--and much better. It is a very tragic story how Princess Diana ended up killed in an automobile accident in a Paris tunnel, but the sadder thing was the failure of the marriage, long before it was made public. The object lesson of this is inescapable: God's ways are best. If we do not follow them, we will suffer grave loss. As with individuals, so with nations and societies! A marriage is a divinely-instituted covenant, and America too was founded in a most beautiful, divinely-instituted covenant, as is clear from reading the Pilgrim and Puritan covenants. To turn from any covenant from God to do what we selfishly want is to invite unhappiness, sorrow, and even death and destuction. Fortunately, there is still opportunity for America to turn back to God and His covenant with us! We do not have to end up as the lovely Princess Diana did. Prince Charles, though a survivor, has to live with his own regrets and remorse, no doubt.

A royal wedding infinitely more splendid and majestic than Charles and Diana's is coming, when Christ is wed to His Bride. His bride will be ready, and she will be without spot or wrinkle. Are we preparing ourselves as the Bride of Christ? It is time to purify ourselves and get ready for the grand royal wedding with the King!

On a trip to England, my hosts took me to St. Paul's Cathedral, and we saw the silver chandeliers had been taken down, for cleaning, in preparation for the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana. The cathedral itself had to be cleaned and purified for the wedding and the honorable guests and the Bride and Groom and the Groom's royal mother the Queen and the Archbiship of Canterbury and The Dean of the Cathedral. This was probably the wedding of the century, watched world-wide by television by hundreds of millions. How much more, we, the Church and Body of Christ, must be made ready for the wedding, cleaned and purified for our much more glorious Bridegroom, Jesus Christ!

One paragraph from the AFA Pass Along Sheet regarding Wal-Mart: "When Wal-Mart announced their support for the homosexual agenda a few weeks ago, they meant what they said. You will remember that the Wal-Mart asked for, and received, permission to join the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce (NGLCC). The company announcd they were giving two large grants to NGLCC. The world's largest retailer was rewarded with a position on the board of NGLCC. Wal-Mart also announced they would give preference to homosexual-owned businesses in purchasing products."

Remember Ellen on TV "coming out of the closet," with her announced lover, Ann Heche? It was, in 1997, TV's most widely publicized event. I recall it, chiefly because I wrote a letter to a local McDonalds, saying I was not going there again to eat, after they came out endorsing Ellen--asking how could they do that and still support the family. Well, Ann's mother, Nancy Heche, interviewed by Joni Lamb on Daystar, has written a book, "The Truth Comes Out," in which she tells her very painful but necessary journey back to God, after losing her faith and her husband and her "ideal marriage" in 1980 when he died of HIV after living a double life as a homosexual. Then her daughter joined with Ellen publicly on TV in a lesbian relationship. It took some real sorting out in her heart and life before Nancy Heche found ways of loving and accepting her daughter as Christ would, yet without saying that homosexuality is right to do. Now Nancy is able to challenge churches not to reject homosexuals but to love them--the only way to win them back to the sexuality God chose for them and, even more important, the relationship with Jesus that will make their lives worth living.

Item: Wesley's Cow Sermon: "One day John Wesley [the great British evangelist of the 18th century) was walking with a man who expressed his doubt as to the goodness of God. He said, 'I do not know what I shall do with all this worry and trouble.' At that moment Wesley saw a cow looking over a stone wall. 'Do you know,' asked Wesley, 'why that cow is looking over the wall?' 'No,' said the man. Wesley said, 'The cow is looking over the wall because she cannot see through it. That is what you must do with your wall of trouble--look over it and above it.' Faith enables us to get above circumstances and look to Christ who is over all, blessed forever."

This next item is not trivial, by any means! Michael Freund, Chairman of Shavei Israel ("Shavei Israel," meaning "Those Who Would Return to Israel"), who worked in the administration of former Prime Minister Netanyahu of Israel, has recently come in contact with a people in Northwest India who claim to be the Lost Tribe of Manasseh. Manasseh was the tribe affliated with Ephraim as descendants of the two sons of Joseph by those names. Genesis 46:20: "In Egypt, Manasseh and Ephraim were born to Joseph by Asenath daughter of Potiphera, priest of On." The people from NW India call themselves the "Bnei Menasche," which means, "Sons of Manasseh." Freund and others have met with representatives of this people in Jerusalem, and also gone to India and met with the people, studying their customs and manuscripts and history to determine if they truly are what they claim to be. Freund is satisfied that they are Manassehites. The Chief Rabbi of Israel has also reviewed their case and declared they are true sons of Israel.

The Bnei Menasche said to Michael Freund that they want to return (make the aliyah) to Israel. 800 have emigraed to Israel so far, but there are thousands remaining. In the meantime, Freund and supporters established two schools in India for them, and are doing other things to facilitate their return to Israel. It is about 2,700 years since they were forcibly taken from the Northern Kingdom by the Assyrians. If you wish to know more about this epochal reunion of Jews of the Lost Tribe of Manasseh with their people in their homeland of Israel, Hal Lindsay's recent interview with Michael Freund can be accessed here. Michael Freund's web address and webpage will be given too.

Item: One "slightly used" Tower of Babel, in excellent condition, for sale? You have to see it to believe it--the reconstructed Tower of Babel, which has been newly erected in Iraq (the site of ancient Babylon) by the Nebuchadnezzer-emulating tyrant we know by the name of Saddam Hussain! Here is the circular-staircased, all brick Tower of Babel, which Saddam Hussain had built at great cost (the entire project of the reconstructed Babylon is over a billion U.S. dollars--money, by the way, stolen and diverted from the food for oil program instituted for the starving Iraqi people but not monitored by the almost totally incompetent, corrupt United Nations!)--on Babylon's known location not far from Baghdad. This Tower has been toured by American Christians, led to it by friendly soldiers who were guarding it. It is also featured on the reverse side of the no doubt now worthless 5 Dinar Note of Saddam Hussain's currency:

Item: Did you know that the Assyrians still exist as a distinct people? Yes, they form one of the ancient, indigenous peoples of Iraq, and they are Christian--yes, CHRISTIAN! They have an international website, which you can access by typing in "Assyrian" in any search engine. I have viewed the Christian Assyrian men who have appeared on the 700 Club, telling about their people and faith in Jesus, and they have now come by the hundreds and thousands to the U.S., where they have Assyrian Pentecostal churches (others may be more traditional churches). It was amazing to see these Assyrians, who display all the same facial characteristics as the ancient carvings of Assyrians we know from archeology. Those carvings were like photo images of the modern Assyrians! Lately, one notable Christian Assyrian reached the news, for he is a general who served in Saddam Hussain's government, and was the only one who would tell Saddam the truth (the rest were too afraid they would lose their lives!). Saddam respected him for this, though he was a Christian. The general has a book out that tells about Saddam Hussain's weapons of mass destruction, which existed and were shipped out to Syria, before the UN inspectors could find them. This book and his testimony (which I heard in a radio interview with him) has naturally (it is the usual tactic of secular humanism to ignore the most important things if they don't fit its agenda) been ignored by the U.S. liberal press, of course, since they were all intent to prove their contention that the weapons never existed (despite the evidence of the chemical-biological weapons Saddam Hussain used on the Kurds and the innocuous, water-encircled Marsh Arabs previous to the U.S.-Iraq wars) and the war was fought for no reason, therefore bringing down President Bush by discrediting him and making him seem a liar. He did not lie. We know the proof that the weapons existed, and this general is but one who knows the truth. As soon as I have a link, I will give it, so that his book can be obtained. Biblical prophecy tells of a highway being opened up from Egypt to Assyria, so that his people (whom God calls His peoples) in both places will no longer be forgotten and seemingly forsaken. Truly, with the recent developments, we are seeing this ancient prophecy fulfilled. We read about how terrible the Assyrians once were, but now they are the Lord's own people! This is "the rest of the story." Please check out their websites, particular Nineveh.com, which has an article also on the Lost Tribe of Jews moving to Israel listed.

Postscript to Item on Assyrians: The Nineveh.com webpage also announces the event of Christians for Assyrians of Iraq, which will demonstrate peacefully in front of the White House, Monday, December 4, 2006.

Item: Who would you say are the most generous people on earth? Hint: not the secular humanists (they do not give much of anything to the homeless, compared to conservatives).

Bill O'Reilly on the O'Reilly Factor show interviewed an author who has a book out on the results of his study of the giving of various groups in America and how they compare to European countries. Secular-humanists are hardly in the running. Conservatives give 2 per cent of their incomes to charities, mainly Christian run charities. Liberals, when they give anything at all, give to secular charities. Countries such as the Netherlands, France, Germany, and Italy are pathetic tightwads. Italy is the worst of all. I am reminded that the Netherlands, which doesn't compare to the giving rate of conservatives in America, or America in total, does not have much grounds for lecturing anyone, but their ambassador came here on a visit to the President and lectured the U.S. a while back just after the tsunami, saying America needed to give more money to the victims. It was absurd, coming from them--these secular humanist Hollanders who, statistically, per capita, are the real tightwads, not America, and certainly not conservatives. Now this was the book's findings--not my own good guesses--as I hadn't the slightest idea what the giving was for each of these nations was until the findings were aired on O'Reilly's program.

Bill O'Reilly asked the author (I did not hear this name, tuning in too late) why secular humanists give so poorly compared to conservatives. The answer is it has to do with their world view. No God to look to, they have only the government, and it is the government they expect to do the giving to the poor. That makes sense to me, but the fact is they are short-changing themselves by pushing off the poor onto the government. Giving and generosity actually enhances the lives of the givers. The author said that givers tend to be more successful as people. They are "blessed," to use a Christian term. As the Bible says: "Give and it shall be given unto you...". The opposite is also true then: Don't give, and it won't be given unto you!

Actually, when you think to the source of all giving, God, who can out-give God? No one! But when we give to help others, even the Muslims who may be persecutors of Christians, we are acting like God, are we not? And when we imitate God, we will be blessed--it is as sure a thing as water always flows downhill.

Item: What ever happened to the Jewish settlers recently evicted by the Israeli government troops of Prime Minister Omert in former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's "Land for Peace" fiasco, when Prime Miniser Omert sent troops in to evict the Israelis from the Gaza Strip and demolish their beloved homes and gardens, and the businesses they had worked for many years to develop? What are they doing now? Where are they? Joni and Marcus Lamb of Daystar Television just broadcasted from Daystar's new station opened in Jerusalem, and Jewish settlers were able to voice their heart-rending story for the first time on primetime Christian television world-wide. You may want to go to Daystar's website to access this interview, which is given below. These people's stories are most touching. They aren't playing the victim/blame game. They just want to bebuild their lives, even though they are now in their fifties and not so young anymore, but the Israeli government did not reimburse them for the full losses they suffered, so that they now subsist in tiny cabins (called "caravans"), unable to finance the restablishment of their former flourishing businesses. When they started in Gaza, there was nothing--just desert! It had been neglected land for centuries under the Arabs who came and occupied what had been Judaea's southern border (now called the Gaza Strip). They created a miracle. They made this worthless sand and rock productive, they made it bloom! They worked hard for many years (as many as 27 years) in Gaza to build up their beautiful homes, lush gardens, and businesses--and a political decision in Jerusalem (pressured by the White House) to trade Jewish land for a false peace (it was false, because the land given was used immediately for launching missles into Israel!) swept it all away in a matter of hours. The world press gave it only a few moments coverage--and has completely forgotten these people, despite the fact there were over 1,800 families thrown out of their homes and businesses. But God has not forgotten them. They are still His people, chosen out from all the peoples of the earth as His special possession! Here they are--speaking on Daystar to the whole world about what has been done to them. And they are not bitter, full of hatred for the Arabs and the Israel government--despite all they have lost and suffered. They are not asking for money--we are asking for them. They just want to rebuild, given a fair chance. You can contribute anything you can to help them, by accessing their website:

Item: Dr. James Kennedy, of Coral Ridge Ministries, has diagramed the family tree of Evolution, and it has produced some deadly, evil fruit, as you can see:

Evolution...absence of a Creator....absence of morality...hedonism...promiscuity...AIDS...divorce...family disintegration...crime/...absence of morality...fascism...Holocaust

Evolution...absence of a Creator...meaninglessness of life...despair...rage...school shootings/...meaninglessness of life...abortion/...atheism...eternal damnation

Evolution...absence of a Creator...meaninglessness of faith...persecution of religion

Poor Charles Darwin, the British naturalist who started all this evil with certain ideas he later in life recanted and regretted, was a Christian who should have known better than to publish things he could not then (nor has anyone since been able to) prove, but which has been used by wicked people to justify their rebellion and flight from God and morality and even common sense.

Item: Tourism in Israel: We cannot agree with all the current Israeli secular humanist government's decisions, of course--particularly those discriminating against Christians or establishing same sex marriage or legitimizing the homosexual agenda and mandating it into the Israeli schools. We can never endorse abominations such as those. But we do heartily, without reservation, endorse travel in Israel. God has blessed this wonderful land of the Chosen People, and travel there is safe and will provide a great blessing, by God Himself. I was always tremendously blessed in my trips, and God shows no partiality. Just go needing a real personal touch of God, and it will happen! God is faithful! Faithful! He sees our effort in reaching toward Him, and He is touched in His heart and will reward us every time we do that! God is that loving a God toward His children. Believe in God--He will make a way where there is no way, seemingly, to go. I started out with a single penny I picked up off the floor at church in front of the offering basket, and gave it to God, along with my desire to go to Israel, and an anonymous person donated a trip to me with Art Katz's Ben Israel tour! Whatever that person's reason was, God used it to bless me beyond measure!

Terrorism? Bombs? Why fear anything? Almighty God will be flying with you and going right along side of you! Travel in Israel, and on its planes particularly, is much, much safer than in the West. Israelis have lived with aggressive, hostile neighbors so long, they know what to do to make travel in Israel extra safe. Dear Emmaus Walker, do not miss the opportunity to go to Israel now before Christ's soon coming (ask and trust God for the money!), and go (you will never, never regret it):
